McLean, IanWhite Aborigines - Identity Politics in Australia ArtUK Cambridge University Press 1998 Hardcover Excellent No Jacket 23.5cm White Aborigines - Identity Politics in Australia Art by McLean >> This highly original book shows that Australian art, and the writing of its history, has since settlement been in a dialogue (although often submerged) with Aboriginal art and culture; and that this dialogue is inextricably interwoven with the struggle to find an identity in the antipodes. McLean argues that the colonising culture invested far more in indigenous aspects of the country and its inhabitants than it has been willing to admit. He considers artists and their work within their cultural context, and in light of contemporary theory. 204pp. less than 500g to post, b&w illustrated.

Mossgreen AuctionsThe Ian & Sue Bernadt CollectionAustralia Mossgreen Gallery 2010 Card Cover Excellent None issued 27.5cm 116pp, 600g carded for post. The Ian & Sue bernadt Collection auction catalogue, auction was August 30th, 2010 & conducted by Mossgreen Auctions. A very impressive indigenous art collection, colour illustrations of the works on sale plus accompanying info re the artists. Dr. Ian Bernadt is a voracious Aboriginal art collector whose love and dedication to his vocation is matched only by his unbridled excitement for his passion. With a lack of room to display the more than 500 works he has collected over the past 20 years, the vast majority have lain impenetrably stacked along walls throughout rooms at his home and surgeries, still wrapped in the bubble pack they were delivered in. His desire to have the works seen led him to begin donating many of his finest pieces to a number of Western Australian institutions. These have included including the Art Gallery of Western Australia, and Murdoch, Edith Cowan and Curtain Universities. And he rather reluctantly decided to offer more than 200 pieces for sale through Mossgreen auctions. An inspiring series of indigenous works.
